I am a firm believer that until a person has children of their own, they simply cannot fully understand the enormity of parenthood.

Sure, you can read books and you can babysit and you can immerse yourself in all things baby; until you look down at your baby in your arms and know, without a doubt, that you will spend the rest of your life loving them beyond all measure, there's just no comparison.

Does that make the sleepless nights, crying and future sassy back-talk any easier? Not really.

Which is why when Mother's Day rolls around each year and you realize everything that your own mother put up with while raising you, it is extra important to express your gratitude and love for her. And what better way to show Mom that you appreciate everything she has done than with a little sparkle from Helzberg Diamonds?

Since 1915, Helzberg Diamonds has been committed to providing their customers with unparalleled customer service, industry expertise and custom jewelry that makes that special someone say, "I Am Loved." Offering jewelry of every variety — rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants and watches, just to name a few — Helzberg Diamonds has the design and style that will match your recipient's personality while staying within your budget.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, this year Helzberg Diamonds has the perfect way to help you show your mom, grandmother, sister, aunt or your best friend that she is loved and appreciated for everything she does: the Mother's Day Sterling Silver and Diamond Pendant.

Featuring a sterling silver double heart with MOM prominently displayed, this sterling silver diamond pendant is just thing to act as a token of your love and appreciation for Mom not only on Mother's Day, but every day after.

When a small box from Helzberg Diamonds arrived, I was ready to see the beauty of this classic piece in person.

Even more sparkly and beautiful than in pictures, this MOM Heart Pendant glistens with round diamonds weighing a total of approximately 1/20 carat. Each one is eye-catching and clear and give just the right amount of bling to the clean lines and simple design of the pendant.

As this pendant comes complete with a delicate sterling silver 18" rope chain, there isn't anything else that Mom needs to do to add this to her wardrobe and be reminded of the love and affection from her family!

Thinking that a diamond necklace isn't something that you can afford this year? While the Mother's Day Sterling Silver and Diamond Pendant has the look of a million bucks, it retails from Helzberg Diamonds for only $49.99. At that price, moms everywhere can be surprised with a gift that makes them feel special!

I admire everything about my Mom. She is the most giving person I know -- she is always downgrading herself as she was never able to finish school. But she is very knowledgeable and has more common sense than anyone else I know. She's taught herself to do so many things and very creative.

My Mother was in a VERY abusive relationship with my Father at a time when the husband could do this and get away with it. After years of this and six kids she finally found the strength to walk away. I admire her strength!

My Mom is the strongest woman I have ever known. She had a troubled childhood, but has a wonderful graciousness about herself. She made sure she raised her daugthers to be strong women who cherishes their families.rwolfe1071@aol.com

My mother is very giving with her time. She is 64 yrs old, still volunteers 30 hours a week at a local church. Back in the fall I was in the hospital for 6 weeks and she spent 10 hours a day, 7 days a week at the hospital and still kept up with her volunteering duties. She is the BEST mom a daughter could ever have.

I admire everything about my Mom!!!She is so caring towards other people she doesnt even know!!Specially people that are on the streets she will feed them give them clothes she has a sweet heart and she never judges any one!!!!

Unfortunately..not everyone had a great Mom. I love my mother, but we have never been close. Her religion always came first. The quality I admired most? She always kept the house clean. I wish I could say she did it cheerfully, but, I cannot. I felt more like a burden than a blessing. The only thing that makes my Mother's Day happy..is my 3 grown children love me with all their hearts. I love them so much, they gave me a reason to live.

I admire my mom the most. She has done so much to keep our family together.. We have 7 kids in the family and my dad was always working or busy so it was all up to mom. She is the rock to this family.. I LOVE HER

My mom is an AMAZING woman and the quality I admire most about her is her ability to put everything in the right perspective. She always believes in us and that we will succeed to matter what comes our way

My mom is admired so much by me and my 8 siblings for her determination in life when the chips are down. She taught us about strength in the face of adversity we don't always believe we have, but SHE beleives!

my mom is handicap she has ms but she is the best listener ever she is so compationate even if she dont know you she will listen love and try to help to the best of her abbilitys. my mom has 3 daughters but she has ALOT of people who call her mom

That shes here for me no matter what. Ive been through a lot in the past year and no matter what I do if I suceed or fail shes always here by myside. I just had surgery last week and she stayed by my side all night while I was in the hospital making sure I was ok!

I admire my mom's ability to care about all of us even though we are older and to give us wisdom and advice all through the years and not letting go or giving up on any of us, while still maintaining her sense of humor.

I admire my mothers strength. She was so strong through the last 8 years of her life, struggling with kidney failure. She showed me a side of her that made me honored to call her mom. I miss her so much.
